ZX-9 arguably is the best Nakamichi machine. Or one of the two best, including the CR-7.
After that I believe it is considered one of the two best brands for decks.
It is crude in the way of no reverse play but the quality is stunning, it gets out of cassettes what some pretty good reel players give you. Microprocessor adjusted azimuth, adjustable gain and bias.
It is an excellent machine. I was lucky to get it for under $700 fully workibg, now it is close to $2K for the same.
Nakamichi used it in their lab to make reference tapes.
CR7A is largely the same with reverse and more automation/less manual control.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
